to resolve such dispute within [***] of such referral, then [***] shall have the final decision-making authority with respect to such issue unless it relates to the prioritization of Collaboration Targets, determining when to commence activities on a particular Collaboration Target, the criteria for selection of Hits or Selected Conjugates, the determination of whether such criteria are satisfied by any Hit or Conjugate, or the selection of Hits for conjugation (in which case [***] shall have the final decision-making authority with respect to such issues), provided however, that neither Party shall be obligated, as a result of a final decision by the other Party, to violate any obligation or agreement it may have with a Third Party or to incur any additional costs not agreed to in writing by such Party. The status quo shall be maintained until the dispute has been resolved.

2.10.6. Limitations on JRC Decisions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the JRC will not have the authority to: (a) modify or amend the terms and conditions of this Agreement; (b) waive either Party’s compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement; (c) determine any issue in a manner that would conflict with the express terms and conditions of this Agreement; or (d) amend the Research Plan in a manner that would cause either Party to incur additional expenses for activities not contemplated in the Research Plan (prior to giving effect to such amendment) unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Parties.

2.10.7. Limitations of JRC Responsibility after the Research Term. Upon expiration (or earlier termination) of the Research Term, the JRC will have a final meeting to review the results of the Research Collaboration. Following such meeting, the JRC’s responsibility with respect to further Development of each Licensed Product containing Selected Conjugates shall be limited to reviewing and discussing the RayzeBio Activities that are co-funded under Section 7.7, and the JRC shall have no further decision-making rights with respect to any Licensed Products. The JRC’s existence shall end on the later of (a) the date on which the Research Term expires or is terminated, (b) the expiration of all of PeptiDream’s co-funding rights under Section 7.7 or (b) the date on which PeptiDream’s co-funding obligations for the development of any Licensed Product under Section 7.7 cease.

2.11. Records. PeptiDream and RayzeBio each shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, records of its respective activities under the Research Collaboration in sufficient detail and in good scientific manner appropriate for patent and regulatory purposes, which shall be complete and accurate and shall fully and properly reflect all work done and results achieved in the performance of its respective activities under the Research Collaboration, and which shall be retained by such Party for at least [***] after the expiration of the Research Term, or for such longer period as may be required by Applicable Law. Each Party shall have the right, during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice, to inspect, or obtain access to, any such records in the other Party’s possession reasonably necessary for Development, patent and regulatory purposes related to, or to ensure compliance with, this Agreement.

-22-

2.12. Reports. During the Research Term, each Party will compile written reports for each Collaboration Target on a [***] basis to update the other Party on the status of the Collaboration Activities being performed for such Collaboration Target. The JRC will review such [***] update reports for each Collaboration Target, review relevant data, consider and advise on any technical issues that arise, and consider issues of priority. Such reports must be sufficient in content to allow the other Party to evaluate the progress of the Collaboration Activities in relation to the requirements of this Agreement and the Research Plan and the goals of the Research Collaboration.

2.13. Target Listing, Nomination and Replacement.

2.13.1. Target Listing Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.13, RayzeBio shall be permitted to include up to [***] Collaboration Targets under this Agreement at any time, as further set forth below. The JRC shall update Exhibit B from time to time in accordance with this Agreement to include the then-current list of Collaboration Targets, as further set forth below. As of the Effective Date, the [***] Initial Targets constitute the only Collaboration Targets. In order to add additional Collaboration Targets, a particular target must be nominated as a Collaboration Target as set forth below.

2.13.2. Collaboration Target Nomination. At any point during the Research Term, and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 1.16, RayzeBio may nominate a target to the Research Plan as an additional Collaboration Target, or as a replacement to a Collaboration Target terminated pursuant to Section 2.13.3, by providing PeptiDream with written notice identifying the target. If RayzeBio nominates any target that is an Unavailable Target as of the date of its nomination, PeptiDream shall promptly, but in no event more than [***] following nomination, provide RayzeBio with written notice that such target is an Unavailable Target, and such nomination by RayzeBio shall have no further effect. In such case, RayzeBio may nominate an alternative target for consideration as a Collaboration Target. If RayzeBio nominates any target that is not an Unavailable Target as of the date of nomination, PeptiDream shall have [***] to either approve or reject in writing such proposed target as a Collaboration Target, in PeptiDream’s sole discretion. If PeptiDream so approves in writing, such proposed target will become a Collaboration Target under this Agreement. PeptiDream shall promptly notify RayzeBio if any target nominated by RayzeBio under this Section 2.13.2 that was at such time an Unavailable Target ceases to be an Unavailable Target at any time during the Research Term.

2.13.3. Collaboration Target Replacement.

(a) Termination of Collaboration Target for Technical Reasons. RayzeBio shall have the right to terminate all Collaboration Activities with respect to a Collaboration Target at any time during the Research Term on written notice to PeptiDream if the JRC reasonably believes, based on data generated by PeptiDream, that PeptiDream is unlikely to generate Hits and/or Conjugates that meet the applicable selection criteria in the Research

-23-

Plan in a satisfactory time period as determined by both Parties. Upon such termination, (a) such Collaboration Target will be deemed a Terminated Target; (b) the portion of the Research Plan with respect to such Terminated Target shall be deemed a Terminated Research Plan; (c) any Selected Conjugate that has been generated under such Terminated Research Plan(s) shall be deemed a Terminated Conjugate; and (d) all rights with respect to each Terminated Research Plan, Terminated Target and Terminated Conjugate granted by one Party to the other shall terminate. RayzeBio may thereafter during the Research Term propose to designate a target as a replacement Collaboration Target pursuant to Section 2.13.2. [***] Collaboration Targets that RayzeBio may make under this Section 2.13.3(a). For clarity, this Section 2.13.3(a) is meant to recognize that technical success of the PeptiDream Background Technology and meeting the applicable criteria set forth in the Research Plan is not guaranteed. It is understood that the Parties will work collaboratively and diligently to diagnose and minimize technical failures, and that termination of Collaboration Targets and replacement with Replacement Targets will not be executed superficially or frivolously. RayzeBio also recognizes that on occasion, as a result of data and learnings during the course of the Research Collaboration, the criteria set forth in the Research Plan may need to be adjusted accordingly, and such adjustments may be implemented by the JRC’s amendment to the Research Plan.

(b) Termination of Collaboration Target for Biology Reasons. In addition to the replacement rights set forth in Section 2.13.3(a), RayzeBio shall have the right, at any time during the Research Term, for up to [***] Collaboration Targets, to nominate in writing a target as a replacement for a Collaboration Target pursuant to Section 2.13.2; provided that (a) each Collaboration Target that is being replaced shall be deemed a Terminated Target; (b) the portion of the Research Plan with respect to such Terminated Target shall be deemed a Terminated Research Plan; (c) any Selected Conjugate that has been generated under such Terminated Research Plan(s) shall be deemed a Terminated Conjugate; and (d) all rights with respect to each Terminated Research Plan, Terminated Target and Terminated Conjugate granted by one Party to the other shall terminate. For clarity, if RayzeBio nominates a target as a replacement for a given Collaboration Target under this Section 2.13.3(b) and such replacement is effected, and then (i) nominates another target as a replacement for such newly-designated Collaboration Target under this Section 2.13.3(b), or (ii) nominates a target as a replacement for a different Collaboration Target under this Section 2.13.3(b), then RayzeBio shall have no further rights under this Section 2.13.3(b) to replace a Collaboration Target (but shall retain all rights under Section 2.13.3(a)).

5. PRE-CLINICAL AND CLINICAL MANUFACTURING; TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER

5.1. Synthesis of Conjugates for Pre-Clinical and IND-Enabling Studies: PeptiDream agrees to provide XxxxxXxx [***] to enable RayzeBio to conduct [***]. The goal of this testing is enable XxxxxXxx to nominate a clinical development candidate and a backup development candidate for each Collaboration Target program. It is understood that more than one Conjugate for a given Collaboration Target may be required for RayzeBio to nominate a development candidate and backup development candidate for each Collaboration Target. It is also understood that modification of Selected Conjugates may be required from PeptiDream after receiving feedback from RayzeBio on the [***] results or results of [***] as described below. PeptiDream agrees to conduct such modifications as reasonably requested by XxxxxXxx, and all resulting Conjugates will be deemed Selected Conjugates. RayzeBio may also choose to conduct such modifications at its discretion and in general, the Parties agree to collaboratively discuss such modifications so as to optimally design Selected Conjugates that meet the criteria described in the Research Plan. Multiple smaller batches [***] of the same Conjugate may also be required for development candidate nomination studies, and PeptiDream agrees to provide such batches as requested by XxxxxXxx if XxxxxXxx does not choose to prepare the batches. PeptiDream shall ensure that all Conjugates provided under this Section 5.1 meet the applicable specifications set forth in the Research Plan, including with respect to purity, identity and stability. PeptiDream acknowledges and agrees that certain Selected Conjugates may be used [***] and PeptiDream agrees to provide quantities reasonably requested by XxxxxXxx for such studies, in accordance with an agreed delivery and reimbursement schedule. If RayzeBio requests of PeptiDream more than a cumulative total of [***] of any particular Selected Conjugate under this Section 5.1, RayzeBio will reimburse PeptiDream’s costs to synthesize such quantity on a cost of goods sold basis as agreed by the Parties in writing. Otherwise, all materials provided under this Section 5.1 will be at no charge to RayzeBio.

5.2. Manufacturing of Licensed Products. As between the Parties, RayzeBio shall be solely responsible, by itself or through an Affiliate or a Third Party (including one or more contract manufacturing organization (“CMOs”)) for the (a) manufacture and supply of all pre-clinical (other than quantities supplied pursuant to Section 5.1) and clinical trial materials necessary for RayzeBio’s Development of Selected Conjugates or Licensed Products; (b) manufacture and supply of Selected Conjugates and Licensed Product for RayzeBio’s clinical Development use; and (c) manufacture and supply of Selected Conjugates and Licensed Product for Commercialization, in each case for use in the Field in the Territory. It is understood that RayzeBio may choose at its discretion to select PeptiStar as its CMO, but there is no obligation or requirement for this selection in order to manufacture Licensed Products.

5.3. Manufacturing Technology Transfer. For each Selected Conjugate, promptly following the Selection Date therefor pursuant to Section 2.8.2(b), PeptiDream shall perform a one-time technology transfer of sequence information and reasonably related non-proprietary synthesis information for the corresponding Selected Conjugate to RayzeBio (or its designated Affiliate or CMO). For clarity, PeptiDream shall have no obligation to transfer any of its confidential information or know-how relating to its or its Affiliate’s or CMO’s generally-applicable manufacturing processes for peptide synthesis or bulk manufacture of peptides. It is understood that Selected Conjugates can be manufactured by anyone skilled in the basic art of peptide-based coupling chemistry and that PeptiDream may possess confidential information regarding optimizing yield or efficiency that it is under no obligation to transfer to a CMO unless the CMO is [***]. However PeptiDream will be obligated to transfer to RayzeBio or its CMO (even if such CMO is not [***]) basic technology information such as non-proprietary synthetic processes (including those used to prepare Conjugates, such as coupling of chelators and/or linkers and chelators), standard purification protocols, analytical characterization methods, analytical specifications or other assays, basic stability information in standard buffers or formulations, suggested buffers or formulations, or other process steps used by those conversant with the field of peptide synthesis.

10. TERM AND TERMINATION

10.1. Term. Unless terminated earlier pursuant to Section 10.2 or Section 10.3, this Agreement will expire on the first to occur of (a) the instance that, at any time from and after the expiration of the Research Term, there are no Selected Conjugates under active Development or Commercialization by RayzeBio or (b) on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product and country-by-country basis upon the expiration of the applicable Royalty Term for such Licensed Product (the “Term”). Upon expiration of the Term pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 10.1, the licenses granted under Section 4.1 will become irrevocable and fully paid-up with respect to such Licensed Product and country.

10.2. Termination without Cause by RayzeBio. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, RayzeBio will have the right to terminate this Agreement (a) in its entirety, (b) with respect to one or more Collaboration Target-specific aspects of the Research Plan hereunder (each such terminated aspect of the Research Plan, a “Terminated Research Plan,” and in the event of a termination of this Agreement in its entirety, the entire Research Plan will be a Terminated Research Plan), or (c) after the Research Term, with respect to one or more Collaboration Targets, in each case (a)-(c) at any time during the Term without cause by giving sixty (60) days’ advance written notice to PeptiDream. Upon termination of any Collaboration Target-specific aspects of the Research Plan, this Agreement shall also terminate with respect to any Collaboration Targets set forth in such

-50-

Terminated Research Plan (except to the extent such Collaboration Target is also set forth in any non-terminated aspects of the Research Plan) (such terminated Collaboration Targets, including in the event of a termination under the preceding clause (c), “Terminated Targets”) and with respect to any Selected Conjugate that has been generated under such Terminated Research Plan (except to the extent such Selected Conjugate has also been generated under any non-terminated Research Plan) or that is Directed to such Terminated Target (such terminated Selected Conjugates, “Terminated Conjugates”). All rights with respect to each Terminated Research Plan, Terminated Target, and Terminated Conjugate shall revert to PeptiDream.

10.3. Termination for Cause. This Agreement may be terminated at any time during the Term:

10.3.1. Material Breach. Upon written notice by either Party if the other Party has materially breached this Agreement and has not cured such breach within 60 days after notice requesting cure of the breach; provided, however, (i) if such breach is not reasonably capable of being cured in such 60-day period, then the period to cure such breach shall be extended for so long as the breaching Party continues to diligently take efforts to cure such breach and (ii) in the event of a good-faith dispute with respect to the existence of a material breach, the 60-day cure period will be tolled until such time as the dispute is resolved pursuant to Article 11.

10.3.2. Bankruptcy. By either Party upon the filing or institution of bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation, or receivership proceedings with respect to the other Party, or upon an assignment of a substantial portion of the other Party’s assets for the benefit of its creditors (the “Bankrupt Party”); provided, however, that in the event of any involuntary bankruptcy or receivership proceeding such right to terminate will only become effective if the Bankrupt Party consents to the involuntary bankruptcy or receivership or such proceeding is not dismissed within 60 days after the filing of such bankruptcy or receivership.

10.3.3. Patent Challenge. PeptiDream shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in its entirety immediately upon written notice to RayzeBio if RayzeBio, itself or through an Affiliate or any of its Sublicensees, directly or through assistance granted to a Third Party commences or participates in any administrative, judicial or similar proceeding challenging the validity, enforceability and/or patentability of any Patent Right within the Licensed Technology (except where such action (a) is ordered by a court, patent office or other tribunal or (b) is required by Applicable Law or (c) is made in defense of an assertion of such Patent Right or (d) is a reexamination, reissue or similar proceeding intended to improve the validity, enforceability or scope of a Patent Right).

10.4. Effects of Termination.

10.4.1. Termination of Rights and Obligations. Except for the effects of termination set forth in this Section 10.4 and surviving provisions set forth in Section 10.5, as of the effective date of termination of this Agreement with respect to a Terminated Conjugate or Terminated Target (as applicable): (a) the rights and obligations of

-51-

the Parties hereunder will terminate with respect to the Terminated Conjugate and Terminated Target as of the effective date of such termination, (b) all licenses granted by one Party to the other Party hereunder will terminate with respect to the applicable Terminated Conjugates and Terminated Targets, and (c) each Party will promptly (and in any case within [***]) return or cause to be returned to the other Party all Confidential Information received from the other Party and all copies thereof (except for Confidential Information that is the Confidential Information of both Parties, which need not be returned); provided, however, that (i) if the termination is not of this Agreement in its entirety, such obligation will apply only to Confidential Information related specifically to the Terminated Conjugates and Terminated Targets and (ii) each Party may retain any Confidential Information of the other Party in its confidential files for record purposes.

10.4.2. Effect on Sublicenses. In the event of any termination of this Agreement, in whole or in part, under any of the provisions in this Article 10 resulting in the termination of any licenses granted to RayzeBio under Section 4.1, any existing Sublicense that contains a sublicense of rights terminated under this Agreement shall automatically terminate to the extent of such terminated rights [***] following the effective date of such termination of this Agreement; provided that if (i) such Sublicensee is an Affiliate of RayzeBio, (ii) such Sublicensee is in material default of any material provision of the applicable Sublicense such that RayzeBio would have the right to terminate such Sublicense or (iii) the basis for the termination of the Agreement is due to such Sublicensee’s actions or inactions ((i), (ii) and (iii) together, “Ineligible Sublicensees”), then the applicable Sublicense to which such Sublicensee is a party shall terminate effective immediately upon termination of this Agreement. Each Sublicensee subject to potential automatic termination under this Section 10.4.2 that is not an Ineligible Sublicensee shall have the right to enter into a direct license from PeptiDream (a “Direct License”) on substantially the same non-economic terms and conditions set forth in the Sublicense and on economic terms providing for the payment by such Sublicensee to PeptiDream of the consideration that otherwise would have been payable to PeptiDream if the applicable Sublicense and this Agreement were still simultaneously in effect. PeptiDream agrees to negotiate in good faith the final form of such Direct License on such financial terms and conditions; such final form of Direct License agreement shall not (a) impose any representations, warranties, obligations or liabilities on PeptiDream that are not included in this Agreement, (b) have any obligations that are greater than or inconsistent with the obligations of PeptiDream under this Agreement or (c) have any fewer rights than PeptiDream has under this Agreement, as applicable to the Direct License.

10.5. Effect of Expiration or Termination; Survival. Expiration or termination of this Agreement will not relieve the Parties of any obligation accruing prior to the effective date of such expiration or termination. Any expiration or termination of this Agreement will be without prejudice to the rights of either Party against the other accrued or accruing under this Agreement prior to expiration or termination. In addition, the provisions of Articles 1, 3, 7 (with respect to activities occurring prior to such expiration or termination), 9, 11 and 12 and Sections 2.3 (solely the fourth sentence thereof), 2.5, 2.6, 2.9, 2.11, 5.1 (solely with respect to obligations to reimburse costs accrued prior to expiration or termination), 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4, 6.5 (last sentence only), 6.6, 8.5, 10.2 (last sentence only), 10.4, and 10.5 will survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement.

-52-

10.6. Licenses under Bankruptcy Proceedings. All licenses and rights to licenses granted under or pursuant to this Agreement by PeptiDream to RayzeBio are, and will otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”), licenses of rights to “intellectual property” as defined under Section 101(35A) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Parties agree that RayzeBio, as a licensee of such rights under this Agreement, will retain and may fully exercise all of its rights and elections under the Bankruptcy Code, and that the Milestone Payments will be “royalties” for the purposes of the Bankruptcy Code. The Parties further agree that upon commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding by or against PeptiDream under the Bankruptcy Code, RayzeBio will be entitled to a complete duplicate of, or complete access to as reasonably appropriate, all such intellectual property and all embodiments of such intellectual property to which RayzeBio is entitled to have access under this Agreement. If not already in RayzeBio’s possession, such intellectual property and all embodiments of such intellectual property will be promptly delivered to RayzeBio (a) upon any such commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding and upon written request by RayzeBio, unless PeptiDream elects to continue to perform all of its obligations under this Agreement, or (b) if not delivered under clause (a) above, upon the rejection of this Agreement by or on behalf of PeptiDream and upon written request by RayzeBio. The foregoing provisions are without prejudice to any rights RayzeBio may have arising under the Bankruptcy Code or other Applicable Law.

11. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

11.1. General. The Parties recognize that a dispute may arise out of, in connection with or relating to this Agreement (a “Dispute”). Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, any Dispute, including Disputes that may involve the Affiliates of any Party, will be resolved in accordance with this Article 11.

11.2. Negotiation; Escalation. The Parties will negotiate in good faith and use reasonable efforts to settle any Dispute under this Agreement. Any Dispute as to the breach, enforcement, interpretation, or validity of this Agreement will be referred to the Senior Executive of each Party for attempted resolution. If such resolution is not reached within thirty (30) days after the date of referral to the Senior Executives, then, upon the written request of either Party to the other Party, other than a Dispute relating to the scope, validity, enforceability, or infringement of any Patent Rights or trademark rights (which will be submitted for resolution to a court of competent jurisdiction in the country or region in which such Patent Rights or trademark rights were granted or arose), the Dispute will be subject to arbitration in accordance with Section 11.3.

-53-

11.3. Arbitration. The Parties agree that any unsettled Dispute that cannot be resolved between the Parties or the Senior Executives as set forth in Section 11.2 (Negotiation; Escalation) shall be finally resolved by binding arbitration in accordance with the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) then in effect, as modified in this Section 11.3, except to the extent such rules are inconsistent with this Section 11.3, in which case this Section 11.3 will control. A judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

11.3.1. Arbitrators. The applicable dispute that is the subject of the arbitration shall be resolved by a panel of three arbitrators, with each arbitrator having not less than ten (10) years of experience in the pharmaceutical industry and subject matter expertise with respect to the matter subject to arbitration. Any arbitrator chosen hereunder will have educational training and industry experience sufficient to demonstrate a reasonable level of scientific, financial, medical, and industry knowledge relevant to the particular dispute. Within thirty (30) days after initiating arbitration, each Party shall select one person to act as arbitrator and the two Party-selected arbitrators shall select a third arbitrator within thirty (30) days of their appointment. If the arbitrators selected by the Parties are unable or fail to agree upon a third arbitrator, the third arbitrator shall be appointed by the ICC. The seat, or legal place, of arbitration shall be San Francisco, California, USA and all proceedings and communications shall be in English.

11.3.2. Provisional and Equitable Relief. Either Party may apply to the arbitrators for interim injunctive relief, until the arbitration award is rendered or the controversy is otherwise resolved. Either Party also may, without waiving any remedy under this Agreement, seek from any court having jurisdiction any injunctive or provisional relief necessary to protect the rights or property of that Party pending the arbitration award, including a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, or other interim equitable relief, either prior to or during any arbitration if necessary to protect the interests of such Party or to preserve the status quo pending the arbitration proceeding. Neither Party shall be required to post any bond in connection with such injunction proceeding.

11.3.3. Limitations and Costs. The arbitrators will be authorized to award compensatory damages, but will not be authorized to reform, modify, or materially change this Agreement. Each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses and attorneys’ fees and an equal share of the arbitrators’ fees and any administrative fees of arbitration, unless the arbitrators determine that a Party has incurred unreasonable expenses due to vexatious or bad-faith positions taken by the other Party, in which event the arbitrators may make an award of all or any portion of such expenses (including legal fees and expenses) so incurred. In no event shall an arbitration be initiated after the date when commencement of a legal or equitable proceeding based on the dispute, controversy or claim would be barred by the applicable statute of limitations under the law governing this Agreement.

11.3.4. Decisions. The existence, content, and results of an arbitration shall be treated as Confidential Information of both Parties, except (i) to the extent that disclosure may be required of a Party to fulfill a legal duty, protect or pursue a legal right, or enforce or challenge an award in bona fide legal proceedings before a court or other judicial authority, (ii) where needed for the preparation or presentation of a claim or defense in this arbitration or (iii) by order of the arbitral tribunal upon

-54-

application of a Party. The arbitrators’ decision and award will be made within six (6) months of the filing of the arbitration demand and the arbitrators will agree to comply with this schedule before accepting appointment. However, this time limit may be extended by agreement of the Parties, and will be extended if the arbitrators’ determine, in a reasoned decision, that the interest of justice or the complexity of the case requires that such limit be extended. The arbitrators will be required to render the decision in writing and to comply with, and the award will be limited by, any express provisions of this Agreement relating to damages or the limitation thereof. The arbitrators will, within fifteen (15) days after the conclusion of the hearing, issue a written award and statement of decision describing the material facts and the grounds for the conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The proceedings and decisions of the arbitrators will be final and binding on the Parties.

11.3.5. Effectiveness of Agreement. Unless the Parties otherwise agree in writing, during the period of time during which any arbitration proceeding is pending under this Agreement, the Parties will continue to comply with all those terms and provisions of this Agreement that are not the subject of the pending arbitration proceeding. The Parties agree that, in the event of a good-faith dispute over the nature or quality of performance under this Agreement or in the event the subject of the arbitration dispute relates to the exercise by a Party of a termination right hereunder, including in the case of a material breach of this Agreement, neither Party may terminate this Agreement until final resolution of the dispute through arbitration or other judicial determination and only if the other Party fails to cure such breach within [***] after such final resolution or determination. The Parties further agree that any payments made pursuant to this Agreement pending resolution of the dispute shall be refunded if the arbitrators or a court determines that such payments are not due.
